User Stories - Agile work definition in a related SCRUM or KANBAN tracker

Tasks with sub-tasks are excluded because they somehow represent summaries of the actual tasks.

Task Progress Status Colors

All task management portlets use the same color codes in order to indicate the status of the tasks shown

Blue - Not started yet:
The task is schedule to start in the future, so there is no work planned to be done at this moment.
This status does take into account "early start" work already done on this task or hours logged.

Green - In process (OK):
The task has been started and the work done ("% done" value) corresponds to the time past since the task start.
]po[ calculates the expected advance by dividing the "days already worked" (start-date - today) with the task duration and compares this value with the actual "% done" value. Green means that more work has been done (according to the "% done" value) than expected today.

Yellow - In process (late):
The task has been started, but the work done ("% done" value) does not correspond to the time past since the task start (see above).

Red - Late:
The task is not finished yet, even though today is after the end-date.

Grey - Finished:
The task is 100% done, or the task status has been set to "closed"

Purple - Undefined:
Some data are missing or there is an error in the calculation of the task status.

Project View: Tasks Assigned to Users

This portlet is shown on a project page. It is designed for the project manager and other stake holders to show the status of all tasks per user.

User View: Tasks Assigned to Myself or Other Users

This portlet is shown on the "home page", showing the task assigned to the current user. It is designed to help users to determine work priorities when opening up ]project-open[ in the morning.
